Sell Jewellery in Kelowna

Looking to sell jewellery in Kelowna and find out what your pieces are actually worth? Okanagan Gold and Silver has been the Okanagan Valley’s authorized and licensed precious-metals buyer since 2005. Gold chains, inherited estate collections, wedding rings, designer pieces, broken clasps and single earrings all carry value, and we test and weigh every item in front of you. Evaluations are free, there is no obligation to sell, and payment is cash the same day.

We are an authorized and licensed precious-metals buyer, not a pawn shop, and that difference shows up in the offer. A pawn shop lends money against your jewellery and prices it around the risk of a loan going unpaid. We buy outright, and our offers are built from the live global spot price for gold, silver and platinum on the day you walk in.

It is also why our payouts hold up better than a mall kiosk or a travelling hotel buying event. Those operations carry short-term costs and move on quickly. We have been on Bernard Avenue in downtown Kelowna since 2005, we are owned and operated by Northwest Diamond and Gold, and we deal with the same families, estates and repeat sellers from Kelowna, West Kelowna, Vernon and Penticton year after year. You are welcome to read more about Okanagan Gold and Silver before you bring anything in.

Every karat qualifies, including low-grade gold that some buyers turn away. Testing is free, we do it while you watch, and we will tell you plainly when a piece is plated or gold-filled rather than solid. Pieces holding larger certified stones are often worth more than their metal weight alone, so ask us before letting a ring go as scrap and see what is involved when you sell diamonds in Kelowna.

No. Walk in any day of the week between 9AM and 5PM and we will look at your items while you wait. Most evaluations take a few minutes, though a large estate collection takes longer because each piece is tested and weighed separately. If you would rather come in at a quieter time, call 250-718-8979 and we will tell you when the store is least busy.

Bring the jewellery itself and government-issued photo identification, which we are required to record for every purchase. If you have grading certificates, appraisals, receipts, original boxes or papers, bring those too. They do not guarantee a higher offer, but they can confirm a stone’s grade or a maker’s identity, and that sometimes changes the number.

Yes. Broken chains, bent bands, loose clasps, mismatched earrings and settings with missing stones are all bought at full metal value. Damage has no effect on how much gold or silver a piece contains, so a snapped 14K chain is worth the same per gram as an intact one. Do not throw anything out before it has been weighed.

It depends on the piece. Ordinary mass-produced items are almost always worth their metal content, while designer work, certified diamonds and antique pieces can be worth more intact. We check both and tell you which applies, because we have no reason to buy a valuable ring as scrap. The same logic is worth knowing before you sell luxury watches in Kelowna for their case weight alone.
